Collect like terms
15 + 3 + 9x + 7x = y
18 + 16x = y
Recall
b + mx = y
m = 16
b = 18
Thomas = x
Huilan = x -15 (15 years younger than Thomas' age)
If Huilan (x) + Thomas' age (x-15) equals 33, then ;
x+x -15= 33
2x -15 =33 (do anything (throw -15 to the other side and then divide by 2) to leave x alone)
2x= 33+15
2x = 48
x = 24
Thomas is 24 and Huilan is 24-15 = 9 years old.
Hope it helps!
